This is basically control freaks trying to turn development into a cookie-cutter exercise.

If it really was a cookie-cutter exercise, you wouldn't need developers. You'd just write the program to implement your rules.

Lack of self-awareness is the Achilles heel of people who write this kind of material.



Sprints, Daily Scrums...(cough...cough...)


When scrum becomes all about the process and shipping things is secondary then scrum sucks. The sad part is you can add/remove most parts of scrum that you do not care about. Yet everyone seems to add everything in then never does the checkback to see if it actually did any good or just wasted everyone's time. The worst ones are the big corps that foist the whole process on groups with the hundreds of hours of 'training' and 150 page slide decks to go with it with no real reasoning as to why they are doing it.


my project is an uncoordinated catastrophe. I miss scrum.


More probable you miss proper manager/product owner.
